Wolves are winless in six Premier League games – losing four – while Bournemouth have lost just two of their last eight. Both sides are in poor form but the visitors could edge this one, having taken all three points on their visit to Molineux last season.

Manchester United have conceded 16 goals in their last six games and face a Sheffield United side that have scored nine in their last six, although the Blades are winless in nine matches and have lost six of those.

Liverpool have won four of the last five Merseyside Derbies and have won seven of their last ten away games. Everton have scored in each of their last five home league assignments, though, while Liverpool have conceded in four of their last five on the road.

Over 3.5 goals has been a winning bet in 11 of Newcastle’s last 14 games and this clash has the makings of another high-scoring affair. Crystal Palace netted five against West Ham on Sunday and bagged twice against the champions, Manchester City, in the home game prior to that one, so expect both sides to employ a gung-ho approach and to witness plenty of net-bulging action as a result.

It’s hard to fade the Dodgers given their recent struggles, especially with Betts, Ohtani, Freeman and Smith being the first four batters any pitcher has to face.  The Dodgers were built to win a World Series, and they certainly have the lineup to do so, but their recent struggles have revolved around their pitching.  If Knack can have a solid performance today against the Nationals, I think the Dodgers lineup can score enough runs to cover -1.5

The Oklahoma City Thunder and New Orleans Pelicans combined for just 186 total points in a defensive struggle in Game 1. However, with the elite offensive talents on both sides, the scoring should open up in Game 2. Stars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum are too skilled to misfire again. Expect an uptick in production as the over/under of 211.5 points looks very reasonable to surpass on Wednesday night.

The Oilers kicked off this playoff season in a tremendous way, by scoring 7 goals and earning a 1-0 series lead. This was the perfect way to start off, but the Kings proved they won’t fold, as they scored four goals of their own.I think this game will be a lot closer than the first one. Both teams now have their feet wet, and it may be difficult for the Oilers to get such a high energy level from themselves and the crowd.

Boston has revenge on their mind after last season’s ending in the postseason at the hands of the Miami Heat. The Celtics are far and away the better team in this series and it showed in game 1. They looked efficient and didn’t seem to need to exert themselves much to blow out the Heat. Without Butler and Rozier, I’m not sure what Spoelstra can do to keep the Celtics in check.

The Oklahoma City Thunder struggled offensively in Game 1 but still found a way to beat the New Orleans Pelicans 94-92. With their first playoff game jitters out of the way, expect a much better shooting performance from the Thunder in Game 2 as they aim to take a commanding 2-0 series lead.

This number feels just too low for me. The two teams are averaging 216.9 points per game in the last 10 meetings, plus we just saw 208 points in Game 1 despite Miami struggling to clear the 100 points mark. The Heat have cashed on the over 10 times in 13 games, including 6 of 7 on the road. Boston has done so in 11 of 15 games and in 9 of 11 vs Eastern Conference opponents. Back the points here.

The Mavericks’ 16-2 run down the stretch proved they can be a postseason force. They’ve got the best backcourt in the West, while defensive upgrades in February have made them really hard to stop. The Mavs have become very efficient offensively in the back-half of the campaign and in Luka Doncic they boast a near unstoppable offensive force, alongside NBA champion Kyrie Irving.

The Timberwolves’ huge frontcourt is fancied to cause problems for a Suns side who lack the defensive options for a long postseason run. The Suns have struggled to impress in the last couple of playoff runs and they finished eight games behind a Timberwolves side who were the clear best side in the West before Karl-Anthony Towns went down with injury. With Towns back to fitness, back Minnesota to progress.

The Mavericks are flying right now and they meet an LA Clippers side who have gone cold. The Clippers roster is packed with players known for shrinking in the postseason and their star man Kawhi Leonard is an injury doubt.

The Bucks had a shaky finish to the season and they lost four of five meetings with Indiana this season. The Pacers’ chances will be boosted by the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss out early in this series.

The Magic have all the tools to expose this Cavs side and they rank third defensively this term, which bodes well for the postseason. Cleveland lost 15 of their final 25 games this season, with their roster lacking cohesiveness and rumours swirling that star man Donovan Mitchell is heading for the exit.

The Knicks are great outsiders to win the Eastern Conference but backing them each-way for the title offers a better return. The Knicks were second in the regular season and they’ve improved since adding OG Anunoby midway through the campaign. The former Toronto Raptor has been on a title-winning roster, while he’s a solid postseason option and a defensive superstar. The Knicks have Jalen Brunson in the form of his life, so they’re fantastic outsiders to win the East.

Cleveland lost 15 of their final 25 games this season, with their roster lacking cohesiveness and rumours swirling that star man Donovan Mitchell is heading for the exit. The pair split the regular season series 2-2, but that was before the Cavs fell apart in the run-in.

I am all about fading Blake Snell right now. He has looked awful in his 3 starts, and I do not think he is going to suddenly figure it out. I also think the Mets are better in general, and they have hit lefties well so far this season. 

Carlos Carrasco is not someone I like betting on to begin with, and he is now tasked with a close proximity rematch against Boston. Cleveland’s offense has been rolling and should be able to get to the Red Sox bullpen game here. I like the over at plus money.

It’s hard to fade the Dodgers given their recent struggles, especially with Betts, Ohtani, Freeman and Smith being the first four batters any pitcher has to face.  The Dodgers were built to win a World Series, and they certainly have the lineup to do so, but their recent struggles have revolved around their pitching.  If Knack can have a solid performance today against the Nationals, I think the Dodgers lineup can score enough runs to cover -1.5

The pitching for Houston has struggled immensely and it doesn’t look to be getting better anytime soon until some key players come off of the IL.  Houston is scoring 4 runs per game, while the Cubs are scoring 5, and if Houston wants to keep this game close to give their bats a chance, Arrighetti needs to settle down and give Houston a solid performance.

The Gotemba course at the Taiheiyo Club is a typically tight Japanese track where accuracy and course management are key and while Bezuidenhout and Pavon deserve their place at the top of the market, it looks likely there will be a strong home challenge.

The chances are it will be led by Keita Nakajima, who leads the money list on the Japan Tour and claimed a four-shot victory in the last DP World Tour event, the Indian Open, at the end of March.

Nakajima is 23 but already has a wealthof experience and the knowledge he has gleaned from playing the Taiheiyo Masters, an event that has been played on the Japan Tour since 1977 at this venue, should give him a boost.

He demonstrated in Delhi that he can be a force at DPWT level and while his 20th on his course outing last year may not be spectacular, he was third here in 2020 and is capable of playing well again.

The fact the Masters was followed by one of the PGA Tour’s designated events means many of the biggest names are taking a break this week, but that provides opportunities for others and Sahith Theegala and Will Zalatrois are in the sort of form that suggests a strong team at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Theegala found only the unstoppable Scottie Scheffler too strong for him at last week’s RBC Heritage and that was his fifth top-ten finish of the year.

Zalatoris continues to make progress too after missing a large portion of 2023 with a back injury.

Those issues seem to be behind him now and while his Heritage campaign faded after a promising start, he was ninth at the Masters and has also performed well at other big tournaments, claiming top-five spots at the Genesis Invitational and the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

He flourished in this unusual format when he was fourth alongside Riley two years ago and could have partnered him again last year had he not been injured, so that should provide extra motivation.

Scheffler won the Hero World Challenge at the end of 2023 and he heads into the new year with his work to improve his putting already reaping rewards. With form figures of 19-18-1-10 at Augusta, that improvement makes him among the leading contenders. 

McIlroy has an excellent record at the US PGA, winning the tournament twice. He has already won this tournament at Valhalla Golf Club – which is this year’s venue. That added edge should see him end his Majors draught at the US PGA this summer. 

Johnston won the US Open in 2016, a year after a second-place finish at the tournament. Overall he has seven top 10 finishes to his name at this event, including another one in 2023. Back him to lift his third Major title, having won the last time it was held at Pinehurst.

Schauffele is the final selection having been second at the 2018 Open, while he was victorious at the Scottish Open in 2022. He’s finished inside the top 20 in four of his six Open appearances and his great links golf record makes him a standout at this event. With six of the last seven Open winners coming from the States, back Schauffele to continue that trend. 

Aryna Sabalenka had a year to remember in 2023 as she claimed her maiden Grand Slam title and moved up to world number one.

Sabalenka’s first Major came at the Australian Open and there is no reason to doubt her as she bids to defend her title and show why she should be considered the best female player on the planet.

The Belarusian’s hard-hitting style makes her extremely tough to beat when on song and she has been a model of consistency in Grand Slam events, having also finished runner-up at last season’s US Open and made at least the semi-final in six of her last nine Majors.

Iga Swiatek has a point to prove next season after being replaced by Sabalenka as world number one, so expect her to return to the court with a vengeance.

Swiatek is proving a formidable force on clay, having won the French Open in three of the last four seasons, and the Pole is likely to showcase her clay-court prowess once again and should take plenty of stopping in her Roland Garros title defence.

Things petered out for Elena Rybakina last season having started so positively with a runner-up effort at the Australian Open, but the classy Kazakh is likely to come back stronger and could regain her Wimbledon title.

Rybakina’s serving tailed off at the end of last season but she was crowned Wimbledon champion in 2022 and then she made the quarter-final in her title defence, which highlights her grass-court credentials.

With Swiatek yet to deliver her best on grass, the All England Club may be the perfect place for the world number four to showcase her talents.

This season’s US Open was further evidence that home players have a significant advantage in front of passionate support and American ace Coco Gauff could be tough to thwart in her title defence.

Gauff thrived on hard courts last season and showed great character throughout her US Open adventure, which included a come-from-behind win over newly-crowned world number one Sabalenka in the final.

The 19-year-old could go from strength to strength after her landmark win and it’s tough to forget that she lost only one of her final 19 matches of the 2023 campaign.

Novak Djokovic won three of the four Grand Slam titles last season to take his Major haul to 24, showing at 36 years of age that he still has plenty left to offer.

Djokovic was crowned Australian Open champion for a tenth time last season and, having won the Melbourne title in four of the last five years, he should take plenty of stopping as he is rarely undercooked for the opening Major of the campaign.

Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz are unlikely to have things their own way all season and they may be at their most vulnerable at the French Open, where there appears to be plenty of strength in depth amongst the clay-court performers.

With King of Clay Rafael Nadal having struggled for recent appearances, Danish youngster Holger Rune may pose the most serious test and he did claim the 2019 French Open boys’ singles title.

Rune’s two French Open main draw appearances have resulted in runs to the quarter-final while at 20 years of age he is already a four-time finalist on the clay.

Djokovic had won Wimbledon on four straight occasions prior to losing to Alcaraz in last season’s final, but Jannik Sinner may be ready to serve it up to the big two this year.

The big-serving Sinner appears to have a game well-suited to the grass, having made the quarter-final in 2022 and gone one better on his way to the semi-finals last season.

The impressive Italian was no match for Djokovic in the last four but the 22-year-old is still open to plenty of improvement and claiming his maiden Masters 1000 title in Canada should have installed him with the belief to challenge for Grand Slam silverware.

Alcaraz already has two Grand Slam titles to his name despite being only 20 and the Spanish sensation looks certain to add plenty of big successes to his CV in the years to come, starting with another US Open title.

The Murcia man lifted his first Grand Slam title at Flushing Meadows two years ago and although beaten in the semi-final by Daniil Medvedev last season, that setback looks set to spur him on to even loftier heights.

Over 3.5 goals has been a winning bet in 11 of Newcastle’s last 14 games and this clash has the makings of another high-scoring affair. Crystal Palace netted five against West Ham on Sunday and bagged twice against the champions, Manchester City, in the home game prior to that one, so expect both sides to employ a gung-ho approach and to witness plenty of net-bulging action as a result.

Marseille may be stuck in mid-table, but they have one of the best home records in Ligue 1. Nice have mixed returns on the road and they’ve struggled at the Velodrome over the years, losing five of their last six trips and suffering 17 defeats across their previous 23 visits.

Five of Lorient’s last seven games have finished with them losing without scoring and PSG are fancied to record another win to nil in this clash.

Atalanta have impressed across three competitions this term and they have enough to see off Fiorentina. La Viola have lost five of six visits to the top seven and they should struggle in this trip too.

Club Brugge have seen both teams score in five of their last six Belgium First Division A games and haven’t failed to score in a league game since December, while Genk have found the net in eight successive away games but have conceded in six of those.

Atalanta haven’t kept a clean sheet in the Coppa Italia this term, so they’ll likely need a few goals to turn this tie around and make the final. Fiorentina have scored 1.06 goals per game on their travels in the league this term, while Atalanta have scored 27 goals across their last 10 home games in domestic competition.

Monaco have won four of their last five Ligue 1 games and should be a threat going forward, but no team has scored in more games than Lille (26 of 29) this season and they can bag in Monte Carlo.

Manchester United have conceded 16 goals in their last six games and face a Sheffield United side that have scored nine in their last six, although the Blades are winless in nine matches and have lost six of those.

Liverpool have won four of the last five Merseyside Derbies and have won seven of their last ten away games. Everton have scored in each of their last five home league assignments, though, while Liverpool have conceded in four of their last five on the road.

Anderlecht are top of the Belgium First Division A and a lot of that is thanks to their home form, where they have won five of their last six league games. Cercle Brugge are decent on the road but they lost against Antwerp at the weekend and have lost each of their last three meetings with Anderlecht.

Marseille may be stuck in mid-table, but they have one of the best home records in Ligue 1. Nice have mixed returns on the road and they’ve struggled at the Velodrome over the years, losing five of their last six trips and suffering 17 defeats across their previous 23 visits.

Monaco have won four of their last five league games and they should be able to continue their decent run by edging their Champions League rivals Lille in this one.

Atalanta have impressed across three competitions this term and they have enough to see off Fiorentina. La Viola have lost five of six visits to the top seven and they should struggle in this trip too.

Dominic Solanke has scored 18 goals in the league this season, whilst the Englishman has also netted four times across his last six appearances. With the 26 year old pushing to be named in Gareth Southgate’s Euro’s squad, the in-form striker could get on the scoresheet again on Wednesday.

Bruno Fernandes scored and assisted against Coventry on Saturday to take his tally to 13 for the season. The Portuguese midfielder has netted five times in his last four games.

Mohamed Salah has scored eight goals in his last nine starts for Liverpool and has seven goals in ten appearances against Everton.

Alexander Isak has netted seven goals in as many games and utterly dominated Spurs in Newcastle’s last match, netting twice and giving Tottenham’s defenders a torrid time throughout. The Eagles have conceded six goals in their last two home games and the Swede could trouble Palace’s defence.

Liverpool have scored exactly twice in their last three wins over Everton and Everton have scored exactly once in three of their last four matches at Goodison Park.

Marseille have scored at least twice in all of their home wins this term and they meet a Nice side who have lost by a single goal in six of their eight league defeats this season.

Liverpool have won four of the last five Merseyside Derbies and have won seven of their last ten away games. Everton have scored in each of their last five home league assignments, though, while Liverpool have conceded in four of their last five on the road.

Manchester United have conceded 16 goals in their last six games and face a Sheffield United side that have scored nine in their last six, although the Blades are winless in nine matches and have lost six of those.

Rayo Zuliano look out of their depth in this competition as they have two defeats in as many games and are yet to score, conceding eight goals themselves in the process. Ameliano come into the game after a domestic win and they held their own against a strong Danubio outfit in a 0-0 draw in Uruguay in their last Sudamericana game, so back the visitors to leave Venezuela with maximum points.

Bragantino have won four of their last five at home and they have only conceded twice across their last eight games at this venue. Back the Brazilian outfit to win to nil against a Luqueno side who have failed to score in four of their last five games, losing three of those.

Racing Club are on a six-game winning streak and they should have too much for their Chilean hosts, who have lost one of their two group games so far.

Danubio are in the middle of a poor run with just one win in their last eight games, losing four. Visitors Athletico PR are the group leaders and have won nine of their last 10 across all comps, so back them to win in Uruguay.

Rayo Zuliano look out of their depth in this competition as they have two defeats in as many games and are yet to score, conceding eight goals themselves in the process.

Bayern Munich pushed Man City the closest of any of their Champions League opponents last term and the German side have addressed the issues which cost them. Harry Kane adds a new dimension to their attack while in Kim Min-jae they’ve added an elite defender who can perform on the biggest stage. Man City’s summer business has at best left them standing still, so look to a Bayern side who have closed the gap.

Shamrock Rovers have hit form but they’ve still seen both teams score in four of their last five games. Shelbourne top the table after an encouraging start and they’ve scored in all but one of their home games this season.

Cheltenham are on the verge of the drop but they’ve been scoring of late, with BTTS landing in six of their last seven matches. The hosts have lost five on the spin at home despite scoring in four of those games and they’re likely to be outgunned by Posh.

Crystal Palace thumped West Ham 5-2 at the weekend but they meet a Newcastle side who have scored twice or more in 10 of their last 13 league matches.

Brighton have scored in 17 of their 19 home matches across all competitions this term and five of the last six encounters between these two sides have seen both teams score. With BTTS landing in five of City’s last six and given how shaky they looked in their win over Chelsea, goals should be on the cards.

These sides have shipped a combined 133 goals this season and they are both chasing a win as the threat of relegation looms. Salernitana have conceded more goals than any other Serie A side this term, but BTTS has landed in three of their last four trips.

Man United’s 3-3 draw with Coventry was their sixth consecutive game in which both teams have scored, with 30 goals scored in that run. Burnley won 4-1 at Sheffield United at the weekend and they have now scored in six of their last seven games.

These two played out an entertaining 2-2 draw when they last met and Spurs are likely to be even more adventurous at home. Both teams have scored in Tottenham’s last 12 home league games, so this derby should feature plenty of thrills and spills.
